Qtum Blockchain ("QTUM Chain" or "Qtum") is dedicated to the development of a third blockchain ecosystem outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum, enabling point-to-point value transfer through the Value Transfer Protocol ("Value Transfer Protocol"). QTUM aims to build a decentralized application development platform ("DApp Platform") that supports multiple industries including financial, Internet of Things, supply chain, social, gaming and more. As a hybrid fork of the Bitcoin core infrastructure and Ethereum Virtual Machine, the QTUM Chain has both Bitcoin's immutable records and the functionality of smart contracts. QTUM coins are used to access Dapp, token voting, community governance, and transaction fee payment for accessing Dapps.
